Shortage Procurement

Affinity Components provide a last minute procurement service to customers that have been let down by their regular channels of supply. These unpredicted shortages occur for many reasons. e.g.:-

High demand for allocated products
End of life/Obsolete products
Inventory discrepancies
Differences between forecast and actual production schedules
Late order placement for manufacturing line
Errors in purchasing or inventory calculation systems

One thing to understand is independent distributors, are a vital link in the global supply chain. You should only use independent distributors that are willing to:

Stand behind the products they supply.
Work with your company on a daily basis and develop a trusted relationship.
Hold inventory on your behalf
Have access to inventory from known, reliable sources across the world.

Our professional sales teams (with dedicated account managers) have extensive industry knowledge and always endeavour to provide accurate, knowledgeable information and superior technical support.
Our purchasing teams will only source top quality products from reliable, traceable sources that meet your specification at the best market price available.

Excess Stock  Reduction

Historically producers have not given much priority to recouping money spent on goods that become surplus. Perhaps this is because goods have already been paid and accounted for. Producers end up with excess stock for many reasons.

Differences between forecasts
Cancellation of current product lines
End of production line
